Exams went well actually, thanks mate. Yeah the setting was pretty much awesome up there. Personally I prefer autumn/winter rides instead of summer rides. Now I am thinking of changing the rear sprocket this week....the stock one is 34T (front is 14T), I am thinking of going for a bigger one, like 37T. Generally speaking I like working on my motorbike.

So yesterday morning I did some maintenance on my bike. I changed the oil, replaced the oil filter, the air filter and the spark plug (NGK CR6HSA). About 40 mins of work and now the motorbike is running well. After 3 days of heavy rain and strong winds (a storm was roaming Greece) and since my university exams period was over I decided to go for a ride on mountain Pelion. I was in need of some fresh air after all. https://i.imgur.com/mB0Xj6d.jpg' alt='IMGUR>'> As I was heading towards Chania I saw a huge cloud right above the highest peaks of the mountain. Of course I wanted to go right through it. The fog was getting dense as I continued to go up, especially at the Chania ski center. https://i.imgur.com/x9h5m8Y.jpg' alt='IMGUR>'> https://i.imgur.com/NNYYz4w.jpg' alt='IMGUR>'> I would go way up to nearly the highest peak of the mountain (Pourianos Stayros) but since there are military bases there you are allowed to go up to a certain point. The top's altitude is around 1600m above sea level. Chania is around 1200m. https://i.imgur.com/6Ihgpbj.jpg' alt='IMGUR>'> The sunset through the fog. Maybe the most beautiful thing I have seen so far. So that's about it. Just a small afternoon ride I went on.

An aftermarket "empty" ECU like Ignitech V92 etc costs about 100€ and in order to map it it will take another 200€ so it's gonna be 300€ total cost. No no no. I prefer spending these 300€ to food and gasoline. Then I leave it as is. Thanks guys!

Good morning guys! I have a question about the fuel injection system on my motorbike (Suzuki Address FL125). Two weeks ago, I installed an aftermarket exhaust system (muffler + pipe) for my motorbike (exhaust brand is Motorsport, which is made in Greece) and I replaced the stock filter box, with a KOSO cone filter (35mm). It's a Euro 3 model, and the stock air filter and exhaust really choke the engine. I would also like to mention that my exhaust system is street legal since it's below the sound limit (dB) it produces and has a fixed silencer in it (sounds great actually). The bike does in fact feel a little bit more lively to me when it comes to throttle. My question though is: does a stock fuel injection system actually recognize the change in air intake values and corrects the fuel-air ratio by itself, or do I need to tune it in order for it to inject the right amount of fuel for my aftermarket exhaust and air filter? My motorbike uses Mikuni DCP-FI (Discharge Pump Fuel Injection) with a 24mm throttle body. The ECU is right under the riders seat and also the heated O2 sensor is located at the exhaust pipe. Furthermore, according to the service manual I have on my PC, there is a sensor at the throttle body which measures the air intake pressure and temperature. I visited some tuning garages here and they all told me that the ECU on this bike can not be modified because "it's locked" as they say. There is also a Takegawa (Japanese brand) fuel injection controller which bypasses the stock injection time settings and allows you to choose for how much longer do you want the injector to inject fuel in the combustion chamber. So, do I need to tune my fuel injection system, or it's not necessary? If there are sensors at the throttle body that measure the pressure and temperature of the incoming air, shouldn't the ECU correct the fuel-air ratio? Thanks in advance!

Well then happy to see that there are riders of every type in here! That's great! I have been to countless places with my motorbike, but yesterday's trip was my first "far" trip far away from my city and it's surrounding areas. It was an awesome experience! When I will find more free time I will post some of my best pics in here! I also owned a Chinese cub back from 2014 to 2016 when I was still with my AM license (AM = motorbikes with 50cc here in Greece). It was a Honda Astrea Supra 100 clone but at 50cc by Lifan. It reached speeds of around 65 to 70 km/h with 70 km/h with 4th gear at rev limits...slow, but still it made my 16 year old self back then happy August 2016, I got my A1 and my father gave me the Suzuki. Was probably the happiest day of my life so far.

Actually scooters are fully automatic, using CVT systems. These bikes come with semi-auto gearboxes. Mine is a 4-speed one, it just doesn't come with a clutch at your left hand. A centrifugal mechanism does the job for you and allows the bike to start without the use of a manual clutch. Scooters are really really common here too like Yamaha XMAX, Yamaha TMAX, Suzuki Burgman, Honda SH, Kymco Agility etc. Underbone and cub are in reality the same type of bike and it's the right term when it comes to these types of motorbikes. Here a bike like this is also called "papi" (παπί in greek) which literally means "duck". This comes from the old Honda C50 Cub which looks like a duck (don't know how they thought of this xD ) There are some cub models which come with manual clutch systems like the Suzuki FX125 or the Yamaha Z125 (which is a 2-stroke motorbike). Also there are 125cc manual clutch bikes here like CBF125, CBR125, YBR125, Kawasaki D-Tracker 125 and Honda XR125 just to name a few. The gear shifting pattern also is different in semi-auto models with all the gears being down, instead of the 1st gear down and the rest up. Most models also come with a "mill" system, as they call it, which allows you to shift from 4th gear directly to neutral if the bike is at a halt and not moving. The only disadvantage of this, is that due to the engine employing the centrifugal clutch the crankshaft becomes a little bit heavier and that's why manual clutch bikes at 125cc tend to rev a little bit faster. There are also mods to convert a semi-auto bike to a fully manual one if there is an aftermarket kit for the specified motorbike.

Glad to meet you people!

I really hope small 125cc unerbone bikes like my Suzuki are welcome here These bikes are really common here in Greece. Not only the Address 125, but also the Honda Innova ANF125, Kawasaki Kaze series along with the Yamaha Crypton series and some others from chinese manufactures. Saving up for a bigger bike though, when I finish my studies

Hello guys! My name is redShogun and I am from Greece! My motorbike is a 2009 Suzuki Address FL125 with a mere 125cc fuel-injected engine, though it doesn't really stop me from loving motorbike trips. I love riding in the countryside, as well as mountain Pelion near my city (Volos, Magnesia) and have even made it to regions nearby Olympus with this bike! Pleased to meet you and I hope we will all get along fine in here! Here's a photo from yesterday's trip near mountain Olympus! The place there is called Livadi and it's located at a nearby mountain called Titaros. https://i.imgur.com/FdbDjz6.jpg Cheers!
